| contents | Magic state cultivation is a state-of-the-art protocol to prepare ultra-high fidelity non-Clifford resource states for universal quantum computation. It offers a significant reduction in spacetime overhead compared to traditional magic state distillation techniques. Cultivation protocols involve measuring a transversal logical Clifford operator on an initial small-distance code and then rapidly growing to a larger-distance code. In this work, we present a new cultivation scheme in which we measure the fold-transversal Hadamard of the unrotated surface code, and leverage unitary techniques to grow within the surface code family. Using both stabilizer and state vector simulations we find that this approach achieves the lowest known spacetime overhead for magic state cultivation. Practical implementation of our protocol is best suited to architectures with non-local connectivity, showing the strength of architectures where such connectivity is readily available. |
